About
The EBSCO User Group is designed for academic library professionals from across North America to share real-world experiences, optimize services, learn what’s ahead for EBSCO products and connect with colleagues and EBSCO teams. Sessions are shaped by the work happening in libraries today, and attendee feedback helps inform future product development.
Bringing together librarians across disciplines
EBSCO User Group is designed for academic library professionals who use, manage, evaluate or support EBSCO products and services. No matter your role in the library, you will gain valuable insights and make meaningful connections with librarians who share your experience — or do something totally different! Past attendees have included:
- Library directors/deans
- Systems/IT librarians
- E-resources librarians
- Subject/reference librarians
- Collection development teams
- Discovery and metadata specialists
- Public services librarians
- Instructional librarians
- Consortium leaders
- and many more!
